Twitter Is Superman

He was the first superhero I remember and we all watched him on Saturday morning TV. Yes, that was before cable and yes, color too!

Anyway, back to that speed of light thing. This morning I was watching the weather channel for hurricane updates and the announcer was telling people, if it gets bad in their area, the best place to find out what’s going on is (you guessed it!) Twitter!

The times, they are a changin’.

It hasn’t been that long ago that nobody had heard the words tweet, retweet, or hashtag. And now, a national weather channel is saying go to Twitter updates?

Of course, if you are an online marketer, you know the value of Twitter. People are “in the moment.” That means, they are right there having conversations as things are happening.

This is good news!

Do you want instant feedback on a blog post? a new product? a product launch? Twitter just might be your choice of social media platform! You can almost think of Twitter as one big chat room. People are talking about everything!

Get on the bandwagon. . . . .
